Comments: The one time I've visited since the SCC secured the property I noticed that several of what were originally trad routes had bee retro-bolted, unfortunately. Two or three that i'd done, anyway. Too bad. They were some proud trad lines

Comments: this photograph i think correctly shows the location and path of NI.....but it is incorrect in its portrayal of S. Animation in that this route, when it hits the upper roof feature, follows it further out to the right that is shown, following the ascending crack formed in the stone as its right edge turns upward

Comments: This is one of a quartet of climbs found on this particular section of the cliff. The discontinuous nature of the cliff detracts from the route's quality nonetheless, there is some nice movement and features, particularly on the upper section, that make it a worthy route. Due to the nature of the stone near the top of the cliff, anchors were placed to lower from. Always inspect the condition of fixed anchors before trusting your life to them.

Comments: And there are more routes potentially in this section.....To the right of this route.....also passing through Fu Manchu vine bundles and finishing on a similar headwall feature as its left next door neighbor. Its been TR'ed and will require 2-5 bolts not yet installed. Also a medium .10 and of similar quality.

...also on the left side of this route, but the ledge dividing the cliff is most prominent here, spoiling the aesthetic. Also the upper section here would be considerably harder than t... more >>

Comments: i started bolting it and never finished. It is a mixed route, the middle section leading up to the big roof, has no natural protection. The bottom half or so is a crack. Yes, it is on SCC property as i understand it. The rating is a guess based on TR work done prior to beginning the fixed placements. Although the roof above is large, the orientation of the cliff with regard to plumb probably means no, it will not stay completely dry in rain. It is way taller than it is roofy

Comments: i've commented elsewhere on this one. unfinished....also difficult to TR because of the big 'ol roof looming near the top.

The beginning is a small alcove or cave kind of thing that starts a full contact crack/stem/body slot/burly/ju jitsu exercise....leading to hand/finger crack....leading to face....leading to roof and moderate headwall finish

Comments: hey i also did a pretty cool...maybe 5.8+ route to the right of this recently...within the last year. up some slab to overhanging portions to a thin, attractive finger crack to a stance, move into a big, broken up looking chimney/dihedral feature that you think will be yuck but is actually nicely solid and takes you to the top. Great exposure and views. Pretty classy although when at first glance you'd shake your head and walk on

Comments: who names these things? not me and i put 'em up. anyway....super cool route....one of the better ones on this end of the cliff......a tall one with a dizzy roof sequence......and some seemingly chossy material midway...so you have to move gingerly....at least you think you do....truth is, its all pretty good. love this route....its got a big route feel. This is perhaps the nicest section of cliff on this end of the SCC parcel.....but gets hot....and poison ivy-ish in summer
